EXCLUSIVE: Nikki's Ex Warns Her About Bachelor Juan Pablo

On Monday night’s finale of The Bachelor, Juan Pablo Galavis’ non-proposal and refusal to say, “I love you,” to winner Nikki Ferrell didn’t do much for his reputation. The couple insists that their relationship is “real,” but Nikki’s ex-boyfriend, Ryan McDill, has other thoughts.

“Juan Pablo doesn’t care about you at all,” he warns the pediatric nurse in an exclusive interview with Star. “He’s a total zero, and if you’ve really fallen for him, this bum will only break your heart!”

Ryan, who began dating the now 27-year-old back in July 2012, admits he watched the show this season because his ex was on it. “From what I’ve seen of Juan Pablo, he has nothing going on, other than being handsome,” he says. “He’s dull, has no personality, is a terrible listener, is totally self-centered and doesn’t seem very bright. I know Nikki as well as anyone, and it would be a mistake for her to get wrapped up in this loser.”

He adds that his relationship with Nikki ended in July 2013, just before she went on The Bachelor, because she was ready to settle down, while he was not. “I think it will be deja vu for her with Juan Pablo,” he admits.
